Okay but if you ignore the shiny blue skintight spandex and turn the volume off I think you will see some potential.......


Apparently he's some sort of Olympic hero in Iceland. I'm just saying.


Have also been watching a disproportionate amount of Mr. Tumbles this weekend and still think he'd make an excellent....... babysitter/brother/neighbor/husband's best pal

I agree, Helena. I like Mr Tumble, good old Justin. I read an interview with him....er....somewhere....once....(so articulate, I astound myself really) and his is a big advocate of Makaton and SEN and intergration and stuff, which is all gravy with me (Myself and my Ma and brother are all v involved with the National Autistic Society so thats right up our street).


He'd be a very good male nurse, too, I think.

Me thinks Fuschia doth protest too much. We can tell how you roll, .....or should i say Tumble!

Oh dear - I'm now watching much more CBeebies than I used to (purely for research purposes obv.) and I don't think I can blame this purely on the lack of adverts (although a serious +).


I'm still trying to work out the attraction of Mister Maker and Justin...which costume seems to be 'doing it for you' then?


Clowns freak me out!

Mr Tumble freaks me out. I blame Poltergeist.


While we're at it, I'm pretty sure the tombliboos bed down in an alien's digestive tract everynight which is also pretty odd if you ask me.


Mind you, CBeebies overload has been all made worthwhile having just witnessed Yoko, Toto and Jamoko perform a pastiche of the climax of The Good The Bad and The Ugly, complete with ersatz Morricone...genius!!

    • What Firkins were they? The only localish ones I remember were the Phoenix and Firkin and the Fox and Firkin. The Plough has changed its name several times, and then back to the Plough, but to the best of my recollection the Uplands Tavern was named that until it became The Actress, and The Bishop was called something else whose name escapes me (though the smell from the gents lingers in my memory) but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Firkin?
    • These statements were in the Consultation Findings report published (later than promised) just before the licence was granted:  "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the delivery of the council’s Events service, which supports the delivery of up to 100 free-to-attend community events per year – please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" I've drafted an email to request some more details of these "free-to-attend" events, as "up to" is a fairly meaningless description - could be 100, could be none? - and therefore doesn't help anyone to decide whether it is actually a benefit to the community or not. Even if it is 100, I'm not sure I could name even one of them? "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the provision of a grants fund – the Cultural Celebrations programme - please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" A similarly meaningless statement in terms of gauging whether, or how much, this is a benefit to the local community. What is it, what does it do, how much of the fee goes to it? And how can the fee go "directly" to two different things? Surely, "directly" means without deviation, straight to, without being changed or reduced?? Again, I'll be asking all these questions to the events dept. I find it outrageous & insulting that a public body can try to justify such an intrusive & disruptive event with such flimsy and opaque "benefits", with zero figures or details to quantify them. They may as well not bother with a consultation, just say "Look, we can't be arsed to justify our decision, it's happening so just deal with it".
